The longer a tampon is in, the higher the risks of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) are. If you have not, please do read the pamphlet that comes with your box of tampons.


Hey guys,

I'm going to be moving to California for a job and I'm starting to think about how much I can afford on a apartment among other things. I'm a single female and I'll be making about $50,000. So I was wondering how much of that would be taken in taxes and what I'd actually be able to spend. I tried paycheckcity.com and I don't know if I can trust it. As a test I used my current salary and it said I made about $7,500 less than I do now after taxes (even though things like retirement and such are taken from my paycheck currently). I checked with the new salary and it said I'd make $20,000... It sounds too crazy that $30,000 will be taken in taxes...

If you're a California resident, can you please give me an estimate on how much I can expect to make? One coworker said it's safe to assume that half my paycheck will be gone which is awful... Any advice would be good. Or if you have a site you know is more accurate.

Also, I'll be moving out of the house with this move to a new state so I want to make sure I can afford to support myself. (link)
I\'m sorry to say but your coworker may be pretty close to being correct, it could be anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 of your check going to taxes, especially being single without dependents. I made 7k a year and half of that was gone before I had my son. *Gladly I make much more than that now* But even still they still do take quite a pretty penny from me even with my son as a dependent. Better safe to assume at least half will be taken than to underestimate the power of the government taxing system.


So, I'm a 14 year old girl and I honestly can't cope with the way my parents tell me to live, I feel like I am trapped in my home and I can't do anything!
They have these rules that I cannot go on my iPad/phone until 8pm every night, even at weekends I'm not aloud to use them. They say I'm to antisocial and I need to get out more, I go almost everywhere with them! I do go to town with friends aswell. They won't let me out of my town, I live in Barnstaple, devon and I'm not even aloud to Exeter or Bristol to go on a shopping trip with friends which is only about 2 hours away. Also I'm not aloud to be friends with a few people I know, one of them because there is a rumour going around that her mum is a prostitute and the other one who is my best friend and I still hang out with her secretly because she said something rude on Facebook like 2 years ago! It annoys me how I can't be friends with who I want to be friends with. My parents won't let me go out after school and I always have to be back home at 4pm if I go anywhere, which means I can't go out in the evening or at night and have a laugh :(
They also won't let me use social networks other than Facebook and Twitter, I want to be able to use snapchat, Instagram and tumblr but I'm not aloud to have it on my phone, another thing is that my dad still reads my texts and my messages with friends online!!! I'm 14 and I literally have no privacy! It's really annoying I want to just tell him "no, I won't give you my phone" or just not tell him the lock to my phone but he always makes me! :(
This is really annoying me now how I feel like I am stuck with nothing to do and no privacy at all :(
Anyone know what I could do? (link)
Being a 14 year old, it\'s difficult to help you with your parents. It does seem as though they are overly protective, as well as quite smothering, especially since you are now at the age where exploration and social living is becoming more and more of a needed thing. Perhaps try talking with both your parents and calmly explaining how you are feeling, and hope that they will take your feelings into consideration. Other than that, there\'s not much else you can do. Especially since they are your parents. To an extent, I can relate to them, but I also understand that confining and restricting someone can lead to a much more problematic rebellion issue. Just do your best and calmly, I cannot stress this enough, CALMLY, explain to them how what they are doing makes you feel as well as how you feel you are ready for privacy, meaning they don\'t invade it and a later curfew as well as perhaps being allowed to go out with friends. I honestly don\'t know what else to tell you dear, other than best of luck.


So, I am about to have a baby and someone mentioned that there are a bunch of places that will send you baby stuff in your mailbox if you just ask for it? How do you do this? Is there a list of companies that do this, or do you just have to write everyone and hope they send you something? LOL! (link)
My husband was away when I had given birth to our son. I was caring for myself, and it is very difficult getting everything needed for your little one, especially with bills on top of baby care items needed. I cannot give you the names of these companies, but there are agencies *the reason I cannot give you the name is because the names very from state to state / city to city* but as I was saying, there are agencies that can help you with clothing, sometimes formula\'s diapers etc. It\'s something you\'ll have to look into. Around here we have The HillCrest family closet and other places. It\'s just something to look up on google, or ask your local WIC office. WIC may be able to give you referrals to places that can assist you. Also, as for free things in mail, it\'s usually the baby sites like Gerber, Similac, Pampers, they send freebies in the mail, which is just samples. You can google free baby samples etc. This will give you a bunch of sites and such that do that sort of thing. I hope this was of some assistance. Good luck with your soon to be bundle of joy :)


Which thing is best as a birthday gift for my daughter (5 years old)? (link)
No one knows their baby as well as the mother. Have you noticed anything she\'s taken a liking to? Also, at age 5, she may be in the wanting to learn new things stage. They have many toys and such that are educational. Perhaps investing in a mobigo I believe they are called, would be a good thing. Not only a mobigo though, they have many different learning toys that come with cartridges and downloadable content. I recently purchased for my son a vtech vreader for his birthday and he loves it, it teaches reading, math, science, etc. It also has downloadable content to match up with your daughters personality as well. It\'s never too early to teach our little ones ^_^ If anything though, go for what you notice her interests take more to.


So, I'm a 14 year old girl and I'm pretty sure this isn't normal. It's usually every morning I wake up with soaked underwear, it doesn't smell that nice either. During the day it's nit so bad but it's still happening, it's very uncomftable. I find that whenever I need to pee I all of a sudden become very desperate to go and I can't hold it in for that long and if I don't go I can't hold it in. I don't want to have to wear a panty liner or something like that, any ideas on what this could be?
I'm too scared to tell my parents about it as I would be embarrassed and I really don't want to have to go and see a doctor unless I really have to.
Thanks. (link)
There are a couple of things that could be happening, 1. You MIGHT be wetting yourself, but if it\'s happening during the day, and you are positive that is not the case, then it\'s 2. Your body\'s self lubricating.... To make it a little simple, you are still young and still going through the stages of puberty, as this happens, your vagina discharges a fluid *which is very uncomfortable, many of us women know all too well* the only thing you can do about the discharge, is to wear a panty liner until it let\'s up. As for the smell, they have liners that contain the smell... Scented liners. Also, proper care may also contain the fluid discharge. Bathe daily making sure to wash and thoroughly rinse the area to be sure that there is no left over soap, failing to do so can also increase the discharge.


Im a 24yr old female and I've been married for 2 years now. me and my husband are trying to conceive for a few months now but nothing. My question is are there certain things we have to do to conceive faster? We have sex about every other day
Is there anything we could do to conceive faster ? Vitamins maybe ? More sex? Anything? (link)
Track your ovulation by either keeping track of your menstrual cycle, or going to any pharmaceutical shop and purchasing an ovulation tracking kit. Ovulation occurs BEFORE your menstrual cycle, though it is possible, as I have heard, to get pregnant even during your period. Sometimes it could take months to conceive, sometimes much shorter. If anything, keep trying, even speak with your family doctor about ways to insure conception, it also would not hurt to make sure both you and your husband are fertile.


Why does my bf w*nk over me
He is 15 should he be doing this at this age
is it ok for him to do it over me iff im 14 (link)
It's natural for anyone to masturbate, especially as a teenager. This is when hormones are beginning to really go haywire and this will cause sudden urges to. As for... you asking "over you", do you mean, as in fantasizing about you? Or physically doing it over you, while you watch? ;/ If so, I can't say don't do that, because it's entirely up to the person(s) involved. If you want him to, then you'll have him do it. If you don't want him to, tell him how it makes you feel when he does this and ask him to stop. But as for masturbation, it's entirely natural for young ones to do so, it's a form of self exploration as well as being able to get to know ones own body.


mam, as my expecting periods date was 22nd July, but till it has not come. today i had checked & found that m pregnant. Please tell me about abortion pill without any side effect. (link)
There is always a risk with abortion. The chemical abortion *abortion pill* can be found online, some sites more than others, but still, regardless of whether you get it online, or go to a clinic, it will carry risk. If you are certain about abortion, I can give you a site that has helped a friend of mine.

This site a friend of mine purchased hers and successfully aborted the fetus.

http://www.eurodrugstore.eu/birth-control__4__en/misoprostol-mifepristone__3033.html

Do take into consideration the possible risks and read the pamphlet it comes with. Neither show up in your system, so if you must, you may go to the emergency room and not have to say anything other than you believe you are having a miscarriage. I am sorry for the late reply. I haven't been online for a while. Please PLEASE be careful and keep an eye on your physical well being while taking this medicine. No matter whether you do a surgical abortion or chemical abortion, there are and always will be a possibility of risks. Bleeding can last up to 6 - 8 weeks. Be sure after your "miscarriage" to continue seeing your doctor to insure that you are physically handling it. Follow the directions accordingly. Be careful and good luck.

Plus, I do not judge. I believe with women, they are allowed to make their own choice on whether to do this or not. Whether anyone was to say to not do it, it's your body, so it's your choice. You must do what you feel is best for your life. Don't listen to others, follow your own beliefs.


Does anyone know anything about sleep walking? Like what causes it? I've been doing it since little and it's very embarassing. I usually wake up and swear, or so I've been told or I physically get up (in a state of confusion when I do so) but I never remember that I did that te next morning. And also I have this thing where I fall into this sleep and I don't remember when someone wakes me or what I say. Like the house could be on fire with 10 people trying to wake me up but I would be so confused and just fall back asleep. (link)
I use to be a sleepwalker. I found out that I was when I was young. I would always wake up away from my room though. It wasn't a problem until I found myself waking up outside. Eventually I went to the doctor and then later tracked down what was the cause for me. I have very high levels of stress, which in turn caused me to sleep walk. I'm not saying you are under a lot of stress, as there are many different factors to take into consideration. Here's a site that may be of some assistance. If anything though, I suggest that you speak with your physician and find the root of the problem.

Best of luck.


do you have any idea how being in jail for about a year could change or affect a person. It could be hurtful, but looking at the other side it could maybe help make that person stronger or be a learning opportunity (link)
It truly does vary from person to person. My mother ended up being worse when she came out, while my father worked harder to better himself. My mother is a foreigner though, so she may have a different concept of things than we do. As for your mate, there is no telling until the time comes.


Hey there. We went for the visit to my wife/daughters mother in jail and it wasn't that horrible. It was with the glass between us. My wife talked about how it's like in jail and told my daughter how many people she is locked up with are young and not much over 18 probably as a way to scare her. Is this a good idea or is it being harsh on my daughter? (link)
I honestly believe it's a good learning experience. It doesn't matter your age, gender, even your health, if you do something wrong, you will be put in jail. I do not believe it is being harsh, I honestly don't believe your wife is trying to scare her. In my opinion, she is, in her own way, telling her, that it doesn't matter your age, if you do wrong, it is where you end up. Whether it scares her or not, is irrelevant in my opinion, so long as she understands what could happen should she break the law. Honestly, if my mate were to go to jail, I would also tell our son, as well as my mate, that if you screw up, it's where you end up. It doesn't matter how old you are. The only time to really worry is if it effects your daughter in a severely negative way. But, if your daughter has not shown any signs of discomforts or anything, then be proud that you both have raised a strong being. Strength now a days is difficult to come by, especially with how most parents are now raising their children. I'm a military brat, so I believe tough love is a good thing.


some say my daughter should get counseling to deal with her mother being in jail but I don't really see why. I think she is acting pretty normally. Sure she made those jokes about it but I think that is normal since she seems to be pointing out irony or something. It is not that big of a deal I think (link)
I honestly see no big deal about it. The only time you'd have to worry about counseling is if she truly seems like she needs it. But no one would be able to tell if she does or not, but you, since you are with her the most as well as you know her better than anyone else. Do what you feel, as a parent, is best for YOUR child. It's alright to take other's advice and/or suggestions, but in the end, it's you as her parent, who must make the ultimate decision. Take the time you feel you need, and take everything into consideration. Like I said, both my parents went to jail at one point or another, for different reasons, and I never needed counseling, or anything like that. I honestly believe I turned out to be a very good person. I'm not perfect, don't get me wrong, I do have my flaws as well as my moments, but that's what makes everyone human ^_^ Do what you feel is best for your daughter, and everything will be alright.


Does the industrial piercing hurt? My best friend got hers done and she said it didn't but I've heard otherwise. (link)
Everyone handles pain differently. I've met people who couldn't handle getting piercings in areas that I thought never hurt, and hearing people getting piercings in places I thought hurt like all hell. It all depends on the persons pain tolerance honestly. If you have a high pain tolerance, I'm sure you'll be fine. If you have a low tolerance, then be prepared for some pain ;p


also, someone said to use the "positives" of this experience and mentioned the following

-they said seeing the inside of a real jail would actually be a good experience for my daughter

-said my wife can use it as a learning experience for herself as well. Also, they said her being in jail will give her more credibility when talking about the consequences of bad choices. Well that is an interesting way of seeing it

what do you think of these (link)
I believe whoever said that made very good and strong points, and I strongly agree with him/her. It'll be a good learning experience for both your wife and daughter. Everyone makes mistakes, and that is how one learns, as well as seeing these consequences, can your daughter also learn. I suggest, if you have not yet, and if your daughter is willing to do so, to have her see her mother. The sooner she begins to understand, the better off she'll be. At least that's what I believe as well, considering as I have told you before, both my parents went to jail, and because of their mistakes, I learned what not to do and I live a calm and happy crime free life


I asked my daughter what she meant by saying it was "cool" her mom was in jail and was taking orders or something. She said she was just joking around, I think that is OK, maybe she is just trying to lighten things up, What do you think? I I think that is OK to try to crack a joke to make the situation feel less bad and that a better way of handing the situation instead of being hysterical about it. (link)
It's how most people cope with tough situations. When either one of my parents were incarcerated my big brother would crack jokes about it to make me and our younger siblings laugh. We were young and missed them. So her making slight jokes may be her way to keep calm and a sign that she misses her mother. It's also a learning experience for her to show her it doesn't matter how small the crime, you can still be put in jail for it.


a follow up to the question about whether you should stick by your spouse in jail

I got this response from others

so here is one of the answers I got from asking similar questions elsewhere


"Even though she is very sorry for making the mistake and even though she regrets it, she is still a delinquent and has to pay for the crime that she committed. She should have thought about it before doing it. I am sure that she will be behind bars for quite a while. She is not a good example for your daughter and I think that you should raise her all by yourself. You can take your daughter to see her delinquent mother in jail, but I suggest you only take her once a week."


this seems kind of harsh don't you think? I never said I was going to break her out of jail or something. And also like I said she admitted what she did was wrong, she is not pretending any different.

(link)
The mother made a mistake like every human does. I believe that is harsh. No child should be raised by a single parent. I believe both parents should be as involved with their child as much as possible to insure a healthy up bringing. If that were the case *what the others are saying* Then I would have grown up an orphan, as both of my parents were in jail. Just because they went to jail didn't make them any less a mother and father. Yes, my father went to jail for domestic violence due to PTSD *shell shock, he's a veteran* and my mother for use of drugs *she's clean now* To be honest, because of their mistakes, I learned not to make the same ones. My parents did everything they could to make up for it, and they became great parents and never made the same mistake again. What those people are saying are apparently very ignorant that EVERYONE makes mistakes in their lives. It's completely natural, some more serious than others, but because of mistakes made, their children can learn from them as well.


i had my period on 28 th of march i had done sex on 5th of march and took ipill with in 48 hours.... its 30 now and i stil dnt hav my regular period..... is thr any possility to still got pregnent... plz reply me..... (link)
I'm going to assume you mean the emergency contraceptive aka morning after/plan b. Since you took it before the 72 hour mark, I would not worry. When you take the pill, you bleed, some heavier than others, as well as some longer than others. Give your body time to recover from the forced period, as chances are your period may be slightly irregular for a short while. Also, to prevent possible scares in the future, look into getting put on birth control as well.


so what if the sperm on the finger dried will it causes pregnancy
(link)
If the semen/sperm is dry, it will not cause pregnancy. Dried semen is ineffective... Once it's dry, all the sperm is dead. So there is no need to worry about pregnancy.


follow up to this question

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=611553


so I have heard many times to use visiting her mother in jail as a learning experience for my daughter? So what exactly is meant by "learning experience"? Does it mean that it shows that anyone can make mistakes and go to jail and not just the "Bad guys" in the movies? If so, I would say that is not a bad idea.

(link)
That is what I meant, not only bad people go to jail. They even send people who make mistakes to jail as well. I find it best to never censor a child, you want them to learn as much as possible, whether you feel it is good or bad. Though, there are things that should be censored, not everything should be.
